The construction of buildings and histories: Hudson’s Bay Company department stores, 1912-26Monteyne, David P. 05 1900 (has links)
Between 1913 and 1926, the aged British commercial institution, the
Hudson's Bay Company (HBC), built four monumental department stores across
Western Canada in Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria, and Winnipeg. In this thesis
extensive archival research on the buildings and the HBC's architectural policies is
analyzed within the contexts of Canadian social history, and of Company business
history. The HBC was making new advances into the department store field, and
the stores were clad in a standardized style intended to create a particular image of
the Company in contrast to its competitors. Popular in Britain at the time, this
Edwardian Classicism emphasized the HBC's history as the official representative
of the British Empire across the hinterlands, a history largely defunct by the turn of
the century. The opulent style also helped to establish the stores as key cultural
institutions and as palaces of consumption. After World War One the HBC also
began to stress its specific historical role in the Canadian fur trade and the
settlemehtof the nation, through the use of various other architectural features
such as the display windows, art galleries and museums set up inside the new
stores, and by the historical sites of Company buildings.
The competition between historical themes -British Imperial and Canadian
frontierist- evidenced in the HBC department stores were tied to social factors.
Demographic changes and nationalist sentiment after WWI forced the HBC to
recognize Canada's particular pluralist society, and to mediate its image as a purely
British organization. Many staff members and customers had no ties to the
Company or the Empire, so the HBC invented a tradition that the public could
relate to and participate in. The codification of a representational strategy was
complicated by the differing agendas of the Company's London Board and its
Canadian management. The study of architectural issues such as urban context,
style, and building use establishes how the modern HBC employed history through modes of representation in the built environment, to justify its claims to the loyalty
of a diverse population of workers and customers.

Ladies in the House : gender, space and the parlours of Parliament in late-nineteenth-century CanadaReid, Vanessa. January 1997 (has links)
Canada's first Parliament Buildings, built in 1859--65 and destroyed by fire in 1916, were the nation's most prominent symbol of national identity and its most celebrated public space. Built into its fabric was an exclusively masculine definition of public persons, one which, at the end of the nineteenth century, women challenged in both subtle and overt ways. / This research examines the design of the Parliament Buildings as a multi-faceted building type, a complex mix of domestic, office and legislative design where both public and "private" spaces intersected. It overlays official documentation of the buildings with a rich variety of sources---archival photographs, newspaper articles and women's columns, letters, journals---to show how women transgressed the architectural prescription which placed them on the political periphery in the Ladies' Gallery, as observers and objects of observation. These sources show that, in fact, women altered and created spaces and initiated influential networks of their own both in and outside of the Parliament Buildings. By illuminating the primacy of the "political hostess," this research argues that women were not relegated to the sidelines, but appropriated---and practiced politics from within---the most privileged of spaces. / This methodology, by examining the interior organization and actual use of the Parliament Buildings, opens new possibilities for the study of legislative buildings and public buildings in general as dynamic systems of relationships rather than uni-dimensional building types. By showing how women challenged the spatial demarcations of gender and power and transformed the meanings associated with parliamentary and public spaces not initially intended for their use, we can draw a picture of the larger role women in Canada played as "public architects."
